Ideological ‘School Improvement’ Plans Hidden in Consent Agenda
Item 9.b.1 asks for a single vote to approve the “School Plan for Student Achievement” (SPSA) for every school in the district. These lengthy documents, some over 60 pages, are filled with ideological programs like “Restorative Practices,” “PBIS,” and “Equity Multiplier” initiatives that focus on social engineering instead of academics. This bundles controversial programs into a routine approval to avoid public discussion and a separate vote on each.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Consent Item 9.b.1, the approval of all School Plans for Student Achievement, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know what ideological programs like ‘Equity Multiplier’ and ‘Restorative Practices’ mean for our children before they are approved.’

“Equity Multiplier” Grant Funds Social Programming
Buried within the school plans (Consent Item 9.b.1), the district is using state “LCFF Equity Multiplier” funds. This money is explicitly tied to programs like “Positive Behavioral Intervention Systems (PBIS)” and “restorative practice supports,” which often replace traditional discipline with group-based equity goals. This is a clear example of state money with ideological strings attached being used to push a social agenda in the classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the “Equity Multiplier” funds in the GEO SPSA (Item 9.b.1), what specific metrics are used to measure the success of these behavioral programs? Parents deserve to know how this money is being spent and if it’s replacing academics with social engineering.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $30,500+ (Strings Attached)

Vague Policy Updates from Activist Group (CSBA)
Items 10.c and 10.d introduce policy updates from the California School Boards Association (CSBA) for a first and third reading. The CSBA is known for promoting policies that undermine parental rights and introduce controversial ideologies, but the actual text of these policies is not included in the agenda packet. The board is voting on policies parents cannot see.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The district must post the full text of the CSBA policy updates for Items 10.c and 10.d. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Please provide a public link to the full text of the CSBA policy updates referenced in agenda items 10.c and 10.d. The public cannot comment on policies we are not permitted to read.’

District-Wide Focus on “Chronic Absenteeism”
Multiple school plans (approved under consent item 9.b.1) identify “Chronic Absenteeism” as a key metric, with one school’s rate flagged as “Red” on the state dashboard. This focus often leads to increased student surveillance, data tracking through software like “A2A” (Attention2Attendance), and potential for home visits, creating a data trail on families under the guise of improving attendance.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the focus on Chronic Absenteeism in the SPSA plans (Item 9.b.1), who owns the student and family data collected by the A2A software? Please clarify the district’s policy on home visits for attendance issues and provide the parental opt-out process for this data collection.’
